Grow Your Own Green Onions in Two Weeks!

Grow your own Green Onions in Two Weeks!
Three quick things about me; I like to eat healthy, I absolutely love any kind of onions (my poor husband has nicknamed me "The Onion Queen"), and I live in a small apartment.
What do these three things have to do with anything? Well, because of living in a small apartment, I didn't think I would be able to have any kind of vegetable garden anytime soon. Now, I still have nowhere close to a garden, BUT, I have discovered that I am able to grow my own green onions!
I had so much fun with this! I loved watching my little babies grow! And they grew SO fast! I would look at them in the morning, and then in the evening, notice that they had grown! It was so much fun to watch!
 So here is how to get started with your own green onions (and please don't mind some of the out of focus pictures, we had just gotten a new camera, and I was still learning how to work it! Hahaha)!

What to do:
First, find a planter.
 ^^^Like one of these adorable ones!^^^ 
I painted my very own at Glazed and Amused Pottery in North Canton. Super fun!

Next, fill it with some soil. My mom gave me potting soil and that worked great.

Buy a pack of green onions from the grocery store, and, taking 2-4 stalks, cut them up from the roots a couple of inches.

And the last step to this incredibly simple process? Stick the roots of the green onions into the soil!

Put them on a windowsill where they can get light, and water them every day, or every other day, just monitor them and make sure the soil isn't dry.
And that's it! Now you get to watch these incredible little guys go through amazing growth spurts! Check out my tracking of their process!

This was two days after I planted them! Notice the cut-off point, and the shoots coming out of them!

And here it is, full grown, at two weeks!
So now whenever I need any green onions, I just cut off a piece from the top, and it grows right back!

Start yours today, and start eating your own green onions in two weeks from now! Yay!

Peace Love and Green Onions
